San Jose Municipal Golf Course
About San Jose Municipal Golf Course
San Jose Municipal Golf Course has served South Bay golfers for more than 50 years, sitting within easy reach of the 101, 880 and 280 freeways. The 18-hole municipal layout is straightforward, with open fairways across flat ground that suits players of all skill levels and makes it a comfortable course to walk.
All 18 greens have been renovated, additional trees planted to bring more strategy into play, and several new tee boxes built to stretch the championship yardage to well over 6,700 yards. The result is a round that offers a test without the punishing demands of some newer designs.
